The case, of course, stemmed from a run-in Diaz had with a Las Vegas nightclub employee back in August 2024.
Diaz was accused of striking the man in the face — as he and his acquaintances were trying to get into the Omnia at Caesars Palace.
Goodman acknowledged the confrontation did happen — but he was adamant his client was merely defending himself.
We’ve reached out to prosecutors for comment, but so far, we’ve yet to hear back.
As for Diaz — who last fought in the UFC in 2022 — he’s not yet publicly spoken about the matter.
